Conor McGregor has been away from the UFC cage since July 2021. His long absence was a result of the horrible injury McGregor faced against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264. The fracture in his leg kept the UFC superstar away from the cage but couldn’t stop him from working. The Irishman used his time away from the UFC to make his Hollywood debut. We will soon see McGregor in the remake of the 1980s classic Road House alongside Hollywood star Jake Gyllenhaal. The former double division champ has been excited about the project and has kept his fans updated about the Hollywood debut.
